The 2002 Shiraz Lily’s Garden (1,200 cases) is a potent, powerful offering from McLaren Vale. Among the biggest of the Two Hands wines (15.5% alcohol), this dense purple-colored Shiraz has a stupendous perfume of espresso roast, white chocolate, blackberry liqueur, and a leathery, meaty component. With terrific texture as well as unctuosity, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this spectacular Shiraz should drink well young, but last for a decade.

Ripe and beautifully focused, a bit shy on the nose but explosive in the mouth, offering a cascade of blueberry, plum, coffee and cedar flavors that linger effectively for minutes on end. Best from 2006 through 2015. 400 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
